Two men accused of hiring a sex worker for an intellectually disabled man at Shreveport Fire Station No. 8 have signaled they want to plead guilty to some of the charges filed against them.

Former Shreveport firefighter Derrick Harris, through his attorney, said he intends to plead guilty to a misdemeanor prostitution charge at his Oct. 23 trial in that matter, according to Caddo Assistant District Attorney Dale Cox.

But that's not the most serious charge Harris faces, and it's unclear if he will reach a plea deal with prosecutors. Cox previously stated he would only accept an agreement if Harris were to plead guilty to all three counts against him: the misdemeanor prostitution charge, a felony count of acting cruelly toward an intellectually disabled man and a felony charge of making threats against the Shreveport Fire Department and its employees.

In August, two former firefighters -- Clint Richardson and Jason Vaughan -- pleaded guilty to prostitution charges in exchange for dropped cruelty to the infirm charges. Billy Glass pleaded guilty to both his prostitution and cruelty charges last month and was sentenced to supervised probation and working with the intellectually disabled. None will serve jail time.

It's not known whether Randy Chandler, another former firefighter accused of being involved in alleged misconduct at Station No. 8, will also reach a plea deal. His trial is set for Dec. 8.
